"I get it. Very dry, Dad. That's good stuff."
Via PopPolitics, we get this fantastic 60 Minutes interview with Stephen Colbert:
He admits he has what Gary Trudeau called the "boring baritone."
"I have a boring baritone; I have boring hair. Every decision that I've made in my life is the middle decision," he tells Safer.
"You sort of disappear," Safer remarked.
"I hope so. I'm a manila envelope," Colbert replied.
I especially love that they keep saying "Colbert joked" after quotations from him; he's obviously being ironic, but it's interesting that characterizing this as "joking" doesn't quite read right, something the PopPolitics post addresses.

It's Bernie from PopPolitics. Thanks for the shoutout -- and for getting what I was getting at.

Thanks! Glad I didn't somehow miss the point. And thanks for posting the interview - I used to watch the Report, and I'd like to if I had more free time, and your analysis of it was quite good, as is the rest of PopPolitics.
